Comments When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: Gravatar Privacy Policy. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

How Long We Retain Your Data If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is done to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for the username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
